The exhibit will
continue throughout the semester. The artwork is comprised of 10 oil
paintings and four watercolors depicting landscapes from the Michigan
and Montana areas.

Chancellor Meadors
said the artwork brightens up the office and has met with favorable
response.

"Everyone thinks
they're great," he said. "We are very pleased that Jannette
would allow us to display her work."

Prior to Hopper's
artwork, the chancellor's office displayed portraits of former Chancellors.
These paintings will now reside in the Chancellors dinning room.

University
Attorney Donna Payne, Suellen Cabe, director of Institutional Research
and Pecouse Lucas, of the chancellor's staff, collaborated to coordinate
the art project.

"We thought
it was a good idea that we may be able to build on in the future,"
Payne said. "For some time, we have been looking for art to display,
and this is a great opportunity for us."

"We
are hopeful that we can continue displaying artist's work," Payne
said. "We have our eye on one or two other prospects."

A native of the
Pacific Northwest, Hopper's work has been displayed widely in the United
States and abroad. She became chair of the art department in July 2002,
coming to UNCP from Central Michigan University.

The exhibit brings
the outdoors to life inside the offices.

"I like to
bring the evocative aspects of the landscape to my work," Hopper
said. "I appreciate the chancellor's office asking me to exhibit.
It's an honor."
